Wedding Vows

Wedding Vows for your Hawaii Wedding

Bride and Groom Lei Exchange at the Start of the Ceremony The lei exchange is done before the start of the ceremony when the bride makes her entrance. The best man holds the groom’s lei for the bride and the maid of honor holds the bride’s lei for the groom. When the bride makes her entrance and meets with her groom they take the leis from maid of honor and best man and adorn each other with them.

Then the officiant begins the ceremony as follows. On behalf of Groom’s Name and Bride’s Name I would like to welcome you to this joyous celebration. The Hawaiian word for love is Aloha. Today we’ve come together to celebrate the special Aloha that exists between Groom’s Name and Bride’s Name and their desire to make their Aloha eternal through the commitment marriage. In Hawaii the giving of a lei is an expression of Aloha. Groom’s Name and Bride’s Name will exchange leis as a symbol of their Aloha for one another. When two people promise with Aloha in their hearts to share the adventure of life, it is a beautiful moment that they and all of us who are present today will always remember.

Groom’s Name and Bride’s Name you are entering into marriage because you want to be together. You are marrying because you know you will grow more in happiness and Aloha more fully as life-mates. You will belong entirely to each other, one in mind, one in heart, and in all things. No greater blessing of happiness can come to you than to have this devoted Aloha, which you now publicly avow. Keep this understanding of your marriage alive in the days ahead. May your Aloha continuously grow truer and more wonderful with each day you enjoy together.

Groom’s Name and Bride’s Name please hold hands and look into each others eyes.

Do you Groom’s Name, take Bride’s Name, to be your wife. To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness, in health, to cherish with devoted love and faithfulness ’till death do you part. (I Do.)

About Me

I am Jon and I love Maui. Writing about Maui has been my hobby for the past 30 years. This website is my effort to help you, whether a first-timer or repeat visitor, to have the best possible experience during your visit to Maui. The info here is based on my own research and experiences. I am not a travel agent and I don't sell anything, so my reports are unbiased. I have visited each of the hotels, condos, and sights, have eaten at all of the reviewed restaurants, and took almost all of the photos.
